Great

Everything is upside down in that car. The material is horrific. It was expensive but it was not worth it

A good family car

Plenty of room and nice performance. I really like the power in this car and our family has been very happy with it.

Great SUV!

I just bought this SUV for the space and love it! We got a used 2012 with very few miles, like new! It has tons of space, 2nd row captains chairs, easy to fold down 3rd row seating, AWD, tinted windows and more! We just took our first road trip and it was perfect!

Very nice to look at and drive.

Nice ride. A little out of my budget. Interior was excellent and exterior great looking. Would recommend to friends.

This car is great for a new family

This car is great. Heated front seats, rear A.C control, and very comfortable rear seats. This car is great for long trips out of town, or just for driving in general. Some of the features on the key include automatic push to start engine, lock and unlock, power lift gate, and also a panic alarm button. Acceleration is good not great, keep in mind it is a pretty big SUV. My particular model, the slt includes black leather interior seats which are very good loooking and very comfortable. It also comes with Sirius xm compatibility, and standard AM and fm radio. The front seats come with lumbar support, which comes very handy in my case, automatic forward control and like I said heat warmers, which is a personal favorite. Overall this car is great for a family and offers stylish exterior and interior designs.

Best vehicle I ever

This SUV is stylish, comfortable, and fun to drive. The V-6 gives plenty of power and reasonable economy. I use it often to pull my motorcycle trailers, and it is excellent at this also.

Acadia Review

The Acadia I drove was basically the same car as a Traverse. Different grill, couple of different options, but same vehicle. The one thing I would say about the Acadia is that the driver side headrest hit my head/neck wrong. We couldn't get it to move back. It kind of hung over the seat slightly. I've talked to a few others who had the same issue.

A very nice GMC

Overall this is a A very nice vehicle at a very affordable price. The only drawback so far is in the audio system which is equipped with Onstar. The Bluetooth capability leaves much to be desired as I cannot pair my iPhone with the factory audio system.
